Is this on a 64-bit system? I know we used to get that error in some AGOS games, but I thought that had been fixed - or at least worked around - by now.

Yes this is on a 64-bit system :)

edit: tried compiling a 32-bit binary and all was working fine.

You may want to file a bug report, then.

Is there anybody who has some more information on the dutch release of Elvira II? It seemed to be a localized version, but I find it a bit hard to believe, especially given the rarity of dutch translations.

Is it just me or dose save not work with ether elvira 1 or 2 with current SVN builds for windows.

I have the english dos versions of the games from the Elvra Horror Pack and keep getting the error message "WARNING: saveGame: Failed to save slot 1!" when ever I try to save.

Fixed my save problem.

For some reason leaving save location set to default dose not work. You have to set a save location.

Elvira 2 issues

Post by Jedras »

I almost finished Elvira 2 but encountered two major problems. First there was a mushroom in the last level of spider caves that somehow caused the game to crash when I got near it. I just avoided the mushroom but there's a second, bigger issue. Somewhere in catacombs power points stop regenerating and because of this I find this game pretty much uncompletable. That's English/floppy/amiga version.
